\"Who's<\/a>
Who's The Boss cast. From the right: Judith Light, Danny Pintauro, Tony Danza, Alyssa Milano and Katherine Helmund. 1984-1992. A fun note: Matthew Perry a.k.a Chandler Bing of Friends appeared on the 8th episode of 7th season. Way before Friends. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am glad that there are some great new shows out there but I have a thing for nostalgia. I especially enjoy the nostalgic stuff more if I realize it is still fun after all those years.<\/p>\n

Recently I re-watched Overboard<\/a> and after seeing Katherine Helmund there, I wanted to watch \u201cWho\u2019s the Boss?\u201d Again. There are reruns, youtube videos and DVDs around so if you are interested you can watch this lovely show again.<\/p>\n

The Plot:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tony Micelli (Tony Danza) is a nice, fun, down-to-earth single dad of Italian origin. He feels Brooklyn is getting too dangerous to raise her tomboy of a young daughter Samantha (Alyssa Milano) \u00a0so he jumps at the opportunity of living in the Connecticut suburbia. The housekeeping job is a little unconventional for a man but Tony doesn\u2019t mind. But after packing up and leaving their old lives behind, Tony gets a little surprise. His \u201cemployer\u201d Angela Bower (Judith Light<\/a>) doesn\u2019t know anything about this. She is a single mother, living with her small son Jonathan (Danny Pintauro). She is an advertising executive and she has left her mother Mona (Katherine Helmund) to interview the candidates. Of course she should have known that her man-loving, youthful and fun mother would go with the handsome Tony. Although Angela is a lot more conventional and reserved, she is eventually talked into giving Tony a shot. From then on it is a bliss of comedy, romance, great family moments, awkward situations and a wonderful time.<\/p>\n

The show went on for 8 seasons, from 1984 to 1992. It may not be the funniest show ever, but it is definitely one of the sweetest and it is a show whose jokes don\u2019t get old and you can still relate to the characters even long after it is over.\u00a0 The show\u2019s only vice is that because it takes place in the 80s, they have dressed Judith Light in the worst fashion possible. Her character Angela\u2019s wardrobe is awful but hey, if bad clothes is the only bad thing about a show, you can definitely overlook it.<\/p>\n

As I watch the episodes once again, I\u2019ll be posting some really fun quotes. Here are some to get started:<\/p>\n

Episode 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

*Angela can\u2019t get her son to take his pet snake out of the living room.<\/p>\n

Tony:<\/em><\/strong> It looks like a showdown between your snake and your mother. Remember, snake doesn\u2019t pay your allowance.<\/p>\n

Jonathan:<\/strong><\/em> Good point. (to the snake, as he is taking it away) Sorry, Wilbur. Money talks and you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

************************************************<\/p>\n

*Angela is unwilling to hire a man as her housekeeper.<\/p>\n

Mona:<\/strong><\/em> Angela, what\u2019s the problem?<\/p>\n

Angela: <\/strong><\/em>The problem, Mother, is that you sent me a man for a housekeeper.<\/p>\n

Mona: <\/strong><\/em>Oh, don\u2019t be sexist, Angela. A man can do meaningless, unproductive work just as well as a woman.<\/p>\n

*****************************<\/p>\n

Angela is dating her boss, around the time she is about to get a promotion:<\/p>\n

Tony: <\/strong><\/em>Let me tell you one thing, Angela! you will never catch me doing something dumb like sleeping with my employer!<\/p>\n

***********************************<\/p>\n

Episode 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Tony\u2019s accidentally walking in on Angela when she is naked\u2026<\/p>\n

Mona: <\/strong><\/em>It\u2019s the first time I feel\u00a0 like we are a real family.<\/p>\n

Angela: <\/strong><\/em>A family?<\/p>\n

Mona: <\/strong>After all we are the only 3 people in the world who know about your mole.<\/p>\n

Here’s a fun video. Let me knows if the video stops working.<\/p>\n
